SSL_CTX_set_num_tickets(3)          OpenSSL         SSL_CTX_set_num_tickets(3)



NAME
       SSL_set_num_tickets, SSL_get_num_tickets, SSL_CTX_set_num_tickets,
       SSL_CTX_get_num_tickets, SSL_new_session_ticket - control the number of
       TLSv1.3 session tickets that are issued

LIBRARY
       libcrypto, -lcrypto

SYNOPSIS
        #include <openssl/ssl.h>

        int SSL_set_num_tickets(SSL *s, size_t num_tickets);
        size_t SSL_get_num_tickets(const SSL *s);
        int SSL_CTX_set_num_tickets(SSL_CTX *ctx, size_t num_tickets);
        size_t SSL_CTX_get_num_tickets(const SSL_CTX *ctx);
        int SSL_new_session_ticket(SSL *s);

DESCRIPTION
       SSL_CTX_set_num_tickets() and SSL_set_num_tickets() can be called for a
       server application and set the number of TLSv1.3 session tickets that
       will be sent to the client after a full handshake. Set the desired
       value (which could be 0) in the num_tickets argument. Typically these
       functions should be called before the start of the handshake.

       The default number of tickets is 2. Following a resumption the number
       of tickets issued will never be more than 1 regardless of the value set
       via SSL_set_num_tickets() or SSL_CTX_set_num_tickets(). If num_tickets
       is set to 0 then no tickets will be issued for either a normal
       connection or a resumption.

       Tickets are also issued on receipt of a post-handshake certificate from
       the client following a request by the server using
       SSL_verify_client_post_handshake(3). These new tickets will be
       associated with the updated client identity (i.e. including their
       certificate and verification status). The number of tickets issued will
       normally be the same as was used for the initial handshake. If the
       initial handshake was a full handshake then SSL_set_num_tickets() can
       be called again prior to calling SSL_verify_client_post_handshake() to
       update the number of tickets that will be sent.

       To issue tickets after other events (such as application-layer
       changes), SSL_new_session_ticket() is used by a server application to
       request that a new ticket be sent when it is safe to do so.  New
       tickets are only allowed to be sent in this manner after the initial
       handshake has completed, and only for TLS 1.3 connections.  By default,
       the ticket generation and transmission are delayed until the server is
       starting a new write operation, so that it is bundled with other
       application data being written and properly aligned to a record
       boundary.  If the connection was at a record boundary when
       SSL_new_session_ticket() was called, the ticket can be sent immediately
       (without waiting for the next application write) by calling
       SSL_do_handshake().  SSL_new_session_ticket() can be called more than
       once to request additional tickets be sent; all such requests are
       queued and written together when it is safe to do so and triggered by
       SSL_write() or SSL_do_handshake().  Note that a successful return from
       SSL_new_session_ticket() indicates only that the request to send a
       ticket was processed, not that the ticket itself was sent.  To be
       notified when the ticket itself is sent, a new-session callback can be
       registered with SSL_CTX_sess_set_new_cb(3) that will be invoked as the
       ticket or tickets are generated.

       SSL_CTX_get_num_tickets() and SSL_get_num_tickets() return the number
       of tickets set by a previous call to SSL_CTX_set_num_tickets() or
       SSL_set_num_tickets(), or 2 if no such call has been made.

RETURN VALUES
       SSL_CTX_set_num_tickets(), SSL_set_num_tickets(), and
       SSL_new_session_ticket() return 1 on success or 0 on failure.

       SSL_CTX_get_num_tickets() and SSL_get_num_tickets() return the number
       of tickets that have been previously set.

       SSL_set_num_tickets(), SSL_get_num_tickets(),
       SSL_CTX_set_num_tickets(), and SSL_CTX_get_num_tickets() were added in
       OpenSSL 1.1.1.
